continual_o to_o god_n and_o that_o without_o which_o you_o can_v never_o hope_v to_o be_v safe_a and_o prosperous_a for_o pray_v give_v you_o a_o title_n to_o god_n safeguard_n and_o preservation_n and_o it_o must_v be_v as_o lasting_a as_o your_o own_o want_n and_o obligation_n to_o worship_v god_n and_o therefore_o till_o you_o find_v you_o have_v no_o need_n of_o god_n mercy_n nor_o any_o

and_o evening_n it_o be_v high_o reasonable_a and_o necessary_a that_o you_o shall_v begin_v all_o your_o work_n with_o call_v upon_o god_n for_o his_o direction_n and_o blessing_n and_o end_v they_o with_o praise_n and_o thanks_o for_o his_o protection_n and_o assistance_n some_o have_v interpret_v the_o apostle_n word_n pray_v without_o cease_v of_o spend_v every_o moment_n of_o their_o life_n in_o prayer_n which_o can_v be_v no_o error_n if_o it_o be_v understand_v of_o such_o a_o excellent_a frame_n of_o spirit_n and_o pious_a disposition_n of_o mind_n as_o be_v always_o in_o readiness_n to_o call_v upon_o god_n this_o religious_a temper_n and_o habitual_a devoutness_n of_o soul_n be_v like_o the_o holy_a fire_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n which_o never_o go_v out_o for_o it_o be_v

they_o may_v be_v mental_a and_o in_o this_o sense_n you_o may_v be_v say_v to_o pray_v without_o cease_v which_o according_a to_o diodati_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v rather_o of_o the_o heart_n and_o affection_n than_o of_o the_o tongue_n and_o word_n and_o though_o you_o have_v not_o always_o leisure_n and_o opportunity_n to_o be_v upon_o your_o knee_n yet_o you_o never_o want_n either_o to_o bow_v your_o heart_n before_o god_n and_o by_o a_o pious_a temper_n of_o mind_n and_o spirit_n of_o devotion_n to_o lift_v it_o up_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o notwithstanding_o the_o scripture_n have_v leave_v the_o frequency_n of_o prayer_n undetermined_a yet_o you_o may_v take_v your_o measure_n as_o to_o public_a prayer_n from_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o church_n and_o in_o your_o private_a

to_o be_v absent_a when_o you_o can_v possible_o be_v at_o they_o and_o it_o must_v be_v a_o matter_n of_o considerable_a moment_n that_o can_v justify_v your_o absence_n from_o the_o lord_n house_n at_o the_o set_a time_n of_o prayer_n now_o according_a to_o some_o expositor_n you_o may_v be_v say_v to_o pray_v without_o cease_v when_o you_o observe_v the_o hour_n or_o time_n of_o prayer_n appoint_v by_o the_o church_n but_o if_o you_o be_v not_o enjoin_v to_o observe_v such_o state_v time_n of_o prayer_n yet_o the_o very_a light_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o law_n of_o piety_n will_v oblige_v you_o to_o observe_v they_o for_o both_o these_o teach_v you_o to_o omit_v no_o occasion_n to_o express_v your_o duty_n to_o god_n which_o consist_v in_o worship_v he_o give_v he_o thanks_o call_v upon_o he_o honour_v his_o holy_a name_n and_o his_o word_n and_o serve_v he_o true_o all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n and_o as_o to_o frequency_n in_o your_o private_a devotion_n you_o have_v the_o example_n of_o holy_a man_n in_o scripture_n for_o your_o guide_n and_o first_o of_o david_n who_o evening_n morning_n and_o at_o noon_n do_v cry_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o he_o hear_v
